The Fidelity's Failure.

CINCINNATI, July IA somewhat
unexpectedly final decree was entered
by order of Judge Sage, this afternoon,
against the Fidelity National Bank and
its director and officers, to forfeit the
charter of the bank. Demurrers had
been filed by President Briggs, Swift
and others, and there was an appear
ance of lengthy legal argu-
ment. Upon a mutual understand
ing the argument was dropped, and
decree was agreed upon by all parties,
which dismisses the action against the
directors and officers, but finds that the
bank had violated the banking laws OF
the United States by loaning money to
D. A. Fitzpatrick and others upon
security of its own capital stock, and by
permitting it's cash on hand TO fall be-
low the required 25 per cent. of its
circulation and deposits, and by in
curing new obligations while in this IN
solvent condition. The charter OF the
bank is, therefore, declared forfeited.
This action puts all assets of the late
bank in the hands of Receiver Arm
strong, and dissolves all attachments
upon its property made since the bank
was seized by government.
